Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 3 When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar 'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on Thy breast, May I hear Thee say to me, "Fear not, I will pilot thee." Amen. Scripture: Matthew 8:23-27 Used With Tune: PILOT

Dayman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Travellers by Sea or Land; Travellers by Sea or Land Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be with us when we sail Upon the lonely deep, Our Guard, when on the silent deck The midnight watch we keep. 2 We need not fear, though all around 'Mid rising winds we hear The multitude of waters surge; For Thou, O God, art near. 3 The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm, The ocean and the land, All, all are Thine, are held within The hollow of Thy hand. 4 As when on blue Gennesareth Rose high the angry wave, And Thy disciples quailed in dread, One word of Thine could save; 5 So when the fiercer storms arise From man's unbridled will, Be Thou, Lord, present in our hearts To whisper "Peace be still." 6 If duty calls from threatened strife To guard our native shore, And shot and shell are answering The booming cannon's roar; 7 Be Thou the mainquard of our host, Till war and dangers cease; Defend the right, put up the sword, And through the world make peace. 8 Across this troubled tide of life Thyself our Pilot be, Until we reach that better land, The land that knows no sea. Amen. Used With Tune: DUNDEE
